Pendle is the borough named after Pendle Hill, the prominent Pennine hill linked forever with the story of the Pendle witches. It takes in the market town of Colne, its neighbour Nelson, the village of Barrowford, Earby and Barnoldswick, which is the highest town on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Moorland, mill towns and stone villages sit side by side here. Look here for good news from the towns and villages around the hill.
